Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
